TW Medical Veterinary Supply
Among 5,000 Fastest-Growing Businesses
Austin-based Company Recognized for 60% Sales Growth
 (August 29, 2007 - AUSTIN, Texas) –Inc. magazine has named Austin-based TW Medical Veterinary Supply to its Inc. 5,000, the magazine’s first-ever list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country.
The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Together, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
TW Medical Veterinary Supply (www.twmedical.com) is a leading distributor of veterinary supplies to more than 2,200 veterinary clinics throughout the U.S.TW Medical carries a comprehensive line of over 8,500 products from more than 165 leading manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, surgical supplies and equipment.
The 2007 Inc. 5,000 list measured revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. Inc. noted TW Medical Veterinary Supply’s impressive year-over-year sales growth: company revenues increased an impressive 60.1% in the three-year period. The company’s most recent financials, for the six-month period ending June 30, totaled $11,433,000, a 26.8% increase over the same period last year.The company’s 2006 fiscal year-end sales were $18,732,000.
“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like manufacturing and construction that are under-reported in the business media.”
TW Medical Veterinary is no newcomer to fast-growth business recognition. The company is also a previous Inc. 500 winner, and a three-time winner of Austin Business Journal’s Fast 50 Awards recognizing the fastest growing private companies in Central Texas.
“It is really rewarding to see the hard work of everyone on our team again recognized by Inc magazine,” said Mark Ziller, company President. “We know that to sustain business growth at this level demands a real commitment from both our staff and our manufacturer partners. We’ve worked very hard to develop a business from which all our stakeholders – manufacturers, customers, and employees – gain value.”
